Wrap each scallop in partially cooked bacon and thread onto skewers.  Leave
room between each scallop.

Grill on moderate-high heat or broil in oven.  Turn skewers often and baste

springy to the touch.

Scallops can be arranged on a platter and passed as an appetized or served
on individual plates as a first course.
